According to TV reports, India asked Pakistan to investigate the attack. In a statement released after the meeting, the ministry said, "Two Indian soldiers were killed in the attack and their bodies subjected to barbaric and inhuman mutilation. The Government of Pakistan was asked to immediately investigate these actions that are in contravention of all norms of international conduct and ensure that these do not recur."
